Had a great quiet weekend stay. Cottage is very clean, well designed, and well stocked with everything needed. Will definitely stay again when visiting Quadra!

Beautiful property and super well-designed accommodations. Could paddle right from the beach around Gowlland Harbour. The place was super well stocked and the kitchen wasn’t missing any essentials. An amazing experience!

Absolute perfection . The house, view and amenities were everything we had hoped for and more. Hosts were communicative and helpful. We felt spoiled to be able to experience the Swell Life.

The Swell Life Cottage on Quadra Island surpassed all expectations and left us longing for more. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful ambience of the property embraced us, offering a haven of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Breathtaking views from the large windows were perfect for relaxation adding remarkable spaciousness and serene calm. The expansive deck offered panoramic views of the inlet and surrounding forest, creating a picturesque backdrop for morning coffees and sunset cocktails. The thoughtful furnishings and impeccable design effortlessly blended modern comforts with the island's rustic charm, creating an inviting atmosphere. Did I mention the fireplace and outdoor shower?! Located on a point with distant neighbours, it felt like a romantic private retreat. The cottage is equipped with everything you need. Amenities on the island are sparse, but with a good grocery shop, you’re not going to want to leave. Although, there are an abundance of easy to do adventures and scenic activities leaving you in awe of its natural splendour. Quadra boasts an extensive network of hiking trails, allowing you to immerse yourself in the lush forests, cool lakes, and breathtaking vistas. Kayaking along the island's pristine coastline is an absolute must, providing an up-close encounter with marine life and explore rugged shorelines. Without a doubt, Chelsea and Arden created a hidden paradise. We are already planning the next visit!
